Note: It is likely there have been
other Rockford-area professional boxers or mixed martial artists. If you know
of people who should be on this list, email Alex Gary at alexgary87@gmail.com
The list of “Other professional boxers” includes those who were identified as
Rockford residents by www.boxrec.com, but I have been unable yet to
figure out if they went to high school at a NIC-10 school.
“Bad” Brad Hefton of Rockford was a kickboxing champion. I haven’t been able to
find his record or what school he graduated from.
